Christie Prades is currently starring as Gloria in On Your Feet the musical, which you may have guessed is all about Gloria Estefan.
We recorded this episode in her dressing room at the London Coliseum almost three years to the day since Christie made her broadway debut as Gloria.
Now she’s come over to the UK to do the show after covering the role in New York and playing it on tour for two years in the US. She’s handing over the part to Philippa Stefani at the end of this run when the show embarks on a UK tour.
